Additionally, you can control the volume under load and adjust the responsiveness of the gas pedal.
Make your car roar

Explore a various selection of starter sounds to personalize your car's ignition experience. You can choose from a broad spectrum, including the thunderous roar of a powerful engine or the distinctive, nostalgic starter sound of a classic VW Beetle.

Additionally, you have the option to activate the cold start function, where our system simulates 1200 RPM for the time you set to create a realistic cold start experience.
Sound also without a combustion engine
E-Drive
Your combustion engine in Electro Mode. RPMs with or without gear shifts can be simulated, similar to an electric car.
For hybrid vehicles, it is possible to simulate the sound in both e-mode and combustion mode.

Electric vehicles exclusively benefit from the pure E-Mode to optimize the electric driving experience. In Hybrid and E-Mode the number of gears can be set between 1 and 12.
Missfire, Pop & Bangs or Simply…
Backfire

Individual Sound Design
Sub-Sounds
Each engine or E-sound consists of up to five subsounds that react in different ways. Some respond to RPM or brake, while others respond to the speed of the vehicle.
Depending on the gas pedal, we also generate a turbo whistle.
With subsounds, you have full control! Choose what YOU want to hear. Each subsound can be activated and deactivated as desired – simply with a click

Soundmodule
Our sound module, made for more!
More power, more sounds, more possibilities.

Especially with today's high-performance petrol engines, whose volume is increasingly being reduced, our system perfectly underscores the petrol sound and gives it an impressive presence. The Maxhaust Sound Generator also transforms your vehicle, whether diesel, gasoline or electric, into an acoustic masterpiece.

Four loudspeaker channels guarantee clear reproduction and a rich, voluminous, unique sound experience.
Soundaktor and Sound Booster technology that you not only hear, but also feel.
Integration with the Vehicle
Why install new buttons when your vehicle already has them? Why use an external remote control when your car itself can be the remote control?

Since the beginning of our Active Sound development, our goal has been to seamlessly integrate the system into your car.

With our app, you can create various driving profiles and link them to specific vehicle buttons. This way, depending on your equipment, you can turn your sound on and off with the CANCEL button on the cruise control or assign profiles to your driving experience buttons like Comfort / Auto / Dynamic without affecting their original functions.

Enjoy unrestricted control and flexibility – safely and easily, even while driving.
Design Meets Sound
Maxhaust Speaker Set
Developed for easy installation and excellent sound, our developers placed the highest value on creating compact speakers that deliver realistic sound while being space-saving and easy to install.
Deep Speaker
The Deep Speaker, encased in a durable fiberglass-reinforced plastic housing, stands out for its robust, lifelike sound and remarkable volume. Our pioneering housing design is credited with delivering authentic audio experiences and realistic vibrations, setting a new standard for sound quality.
The High Speaker perfects the sound. It produces higher tones and gives sounds an impressive, powerful note. Backfires, blow-offs and turbo sounds sound loud and crisp, which intensifies the realistic exhaust sound of a super-car.
High Speaker
Vibration Speaker
The Vibration Speaker use the sheet metal of the hood to produce sound and vibrations through sound waves. This mitigates the characteristic clattering noise of diesel engines while also concentrating the sound to the front of the vehicle. When connected to the intake of the interior ventilation system, it ensures a subtle and pleasing auditory experience inside the cabin.

Custom Sounds

Why only engine or e-sounds?

With custom sounds you can expand your active sound system with another feature that will amaze everyone! In conjunction with the scene control, you can also let other sounds play in addition to the app. For example, you can (depending on the vehicle type) specify that a certain sound should play when unlocking and another sound when locking your vehicle. Replace the horn of your vehicle completely with a train horn or a horn of a beetle! The possibilities are endless and the sound selection is constantly expanding.
